St Truidense v Gent

Sint-Truiden vs Gent Preview

A 1-1 draw at home with Genk wasn't enough to prevent Thursday night's hosts, Sint-Truisden, from dropping down the Belgian First Division A table to ninth place last time out in the domestic top flight, while Gent were also involved in a draw in their previous fixture as the visitors were held to a 2-2 draw at home with Westerlo but nevertheless, Gent still remain in the Championship Round half of the top flight.

League wins have been hard to come by for Thursday night's hosts Sint-Truiden though as they have managed to capture just three victories from their previous 15 league matches in the Belgian top flight which have come in the form of victories against RWDM, Mechelen and Sporting Charleroi but the hosts have also slipped to four defeats within this period along with picking up points by way of no fewer than eight stalemates as well.

The bigger picture shows Sint-Truiden have managed to capture just six wins within their total of 22 matches so far in this season's campaign but although the hosts have collected four wins at home within these six victories overall, they've also been dealt three defeats as well.

Sint-Truiden are unbeaten in their last six home games though, which consist of three wins and three draws.

Gent occupy fourth place in the First Division A and the visitors know that another three points here on Thursday night would send Hein Vanhaezebrouck's side up into third spot and having been handed just two defeats out of their last 11 matches overall, Gent look to be in control ahead of this upcoming clash with Sint-Truiden.

Losses to Club Brugge and Mechelen have been offset by five wins collected against the likes of Standard Liege, Sporting Charleroi, RWDM, OH Leuven and Kortrijk respectively while the bigger picture shows Gent have made themselves a tough side to beat both home and away as the visitors have been handed just three defeats out of their last 28 matches overall.

Within these 28 games, Gent have registered 15 wins in the process, while results away from home also continue to impress as the visitors have been dealt just two losses out of their previous 16 outings on the road which includes capturing nine wins along the way as well.

Sint-Truiden v Gent Verdict

Gent therefore look the more likely to gain the upper hand ahead of this upcoming trip to the Daio Wasabi Stayen Stadium and indeed the visitors have done just that in previous exchanges between the two clubs as Gent are unbeaten in their last five meetings with Sint-Truiden with the visitors picking up three wins within this period, so another three points look to be heading Gent's way here.

Therefore, our main bet will be Gent win @ 1.95
